Two short chaps in one... hope you like it! Not sure how much longer I am going to continue the story... comments keep my muse happy and coming up with more ideas!!
"Booth are you sure you want to have this conversation now?" I asked him already knowing what he wanted to say.
"Yes Bones. Now. This second. I cant wait anymore."
"Okay Booth what did you want to tell me?" I asked smiling at him.
"I did not know that you listened to Britney Spears Bones."
"You knew the words too."
"Yes but…"
"Nope Booth you cant hold it against me."
"But Bones…"
"I wonder what would happen if it was slipped in the FBI office that you know all the words to a Britney Spears song…"
"Bones don't you…"
"You are the one who brought it up Booth."
"Ya but I didn't think…"
"You don't think…that is correct…" I said as I started laughing.
We spent the next three hours laughing and teasing each other back and forth as we sang along with the radio. I could not believe that Parker slept through all of our laughing and when I pulled into Rebecca's driveway at a quarter to eleven I climbed out of the driver seat and went to the back and lifted the sleeping boy from his booster seat. He nuzzled his face into my neck and wrapped his arms around me. Booth grabbed his backpack from the back and we walked together to the front door.
"How was it?" Rebecca asked us as she led us into the house.
"Good. It was good to go." Booth answered honestly letting his emotion show. Rebecca embraced him in a hug and held him for a few seconds before letting go.
She led me down the hall to Parker's room where I laid him down on the bed, "Take care of my Daddy Dr Bones. I love you." He said sleepily.
I kissed his forehead, "I love you too Bub and I promise I will." I whispered as I covered him with his Cars blanket. I walked back to the entry where Booth was waiting.
"Drive safe home you two. Thanks for taking care of Parker." She told me as we walked out the front door. We both waved as we pulled out of the driveway.
"Where too now Booth?" I asked him putting my hand on his and squeezing it. I did not want to go home alone yet. After spending the entire week with him it was hard to say goodbye and I just wasn't ready. I didn't know if I ever would be ready.
"The diner?" He asked me and I quickly agreed. Anything to give us more time together.
I loved spending time with Bones. She was able to calm me down and keep from completely losing it. I don't want to go back to just seeing each other for work. I didn't want to go back to work. I wanted to keep spending everyday with her. If I wasn't scared of her saying no I would ask her to just come home with me and never leave but I know her mind doesn't work that way. At least not most of the time and I didn't want this to be one of the times where it didn't and have her freak out and pull herself away from me again. I don't think I could handle the rejection.
When we got to the diner I ordered my apple pie and coffee as usual and she got a plate of fries and a milkshake. It was an odd pair, the food fit together much in the same way we did, we were almost complete opposites. It worked though. Somehow it always managed to work.
"Bones I don't know if I can go back to work tomorrow." I said quietly.
"Booth we only got our vacation time approved through today. We said we were going back tomorrow." She told me stating what I already knew, what she knew I already knew.
"I just don't know if I can."
"Don't know if you can what Booth?"
"I cant go back to the FBI yet. I am not ready for a new case."
"Booth just go in there and grab a handful of paperwork you have been avoiding for the last month and bring it to the lab and work in my office. No new cases but still work."
"How do you know that I have been avoiding paperwork?" I asked her amazed at how well she knew me and my habits.
"Booth we work together every day. I think I am in your office more than you are and I have seen the piles and they keep getting bigger."
"Okay okay…" I said cutting her off. "Can we go by there tonight then?"
"You don't want to face Cullen do you?" She asked me gently.
"Maybe." I answered.
"Seeley Booth you are not a coward but if you want to pretend you are and take the easy way out we can go by tonight and get it but that means you are going to get two boxes full instead of just the one you can carry."
I smiled at her and agreed. She was right. I knew it and she knew that I knew it. "Just stick with me on this one Bones…please?"
"Booth I told you over the weekend I would stay with you until you told me to leave." She said seriously.
"So if I asked you to stay with me again tonight you would?" I asked.
"Yes Booth I suppose if you wanted me to I would." She answered after thinking about it for a couple seconds…or pretending to think about it…I am still trying to decipher between the two.
I decided to push my luck… "So Bones…if I asked you to move in with me would you?"
She looked at me trying to worm her way into my brain, she stared for a good solid five minutes before answering, "Well, your house is kind of small to fit all of my things but I suppose we could work something out."
Comment please :)
